A MAGICAL TALE OF "PUPPY LOVE"

Writers and artist never seem to run out of variations on the beloved Cinderella story. Certainly, youngsters do not tire of hearing it. Who doesn't love a happy ending? This latest sprightly version might be subtitled "Puppy Love" as Cinderella is a piquant floppy-eared pup relegated to the kitchen by her ugly, overweight sisters (mutts, to say the least). Price Charming is a regal canine - tall, handsome with perky ears and a shiny licorice nose. After meeting the girl of his dreams at the ball, he knows that every dog will have his day (or princess as the case may be). Thus he searches throughout the land until the glass slipper finds a fitting paw. There's also a good lesson in generosity in this modern tale as Cinderella forgives her horrid stepsisters and even builds homes for them by the palace, where they all dwell happily ever after. Youngsters will be taken with the duck footman and rooster coachmen. In fact, they may enjoy this Cinderella so much that shiny new copies will wind up dog-eared.
